Ang Kak and Ginger Chicken Soup
Dishes that contain ang kak will have a distinctive bright red color, hence the color of the chicken and the soup. The color may be quite a shock, but the taste of this soup is so subtle and with a definite hint of ginger, a perfect soup to be had in cold weather.

where do you buy it?
If you have access to 99 Ranch or Marina, they should carry angkak (red yeast rice) in the Chinese herb aisle.
This is originally hakka cooking.I will add sliced onion , crushed garlic and some vinegar (any kind) to better the taste. I really surprise to see this recipe in the internet .
